Tides by Anne Azel

'I'm a degenerate, sneaky, old coot and proud of it,' Jackie Cunningham proudly proclaims. With outrageous honesty and an unorthodox approach to life, Jackie embarks on a last important mission--giving her favorite niece the opportunity to engage in her own oceanographic research. While preparing for her niece's future, Jackie takes a final journey through her own memories as a child in WWII England, growing up in post-war Canada, and covering the most monumental and remarkable events of the twentieth century as a journalist. 'Like everyone, I have endured my storms and shipwrecks. Life has been one wonderful adventure.'
